On Saturday the Presbyterian congrega
tion of this place met in the chapel, and re
fused to ratify the report of the committees
for the settlement of the trouble, between
the congregations. The rejection of the
report as presented by the committee of
MifUintown congregation was not followed
by a discbarge of the committee, but the
committee was retained for futuro work,
and a resolution waa passed by the congre
gation requesting tlie Committee of Pres
bytery to come back and make another ef
fort to harmonize or compromise the trou
ble. At half-past, 10 o'clock oil Sabbath morn
ing the Post of the G. A. E. at this place
marched in a body to the Methodist church
to attend divine worship. They all loo'te'd
quite well in their bine uniforms and their
march Was like the march of veterans. THu
Post Band, without instruments, led the
procession. The Bond boys are so well
used to keeping step to music that their
marching was also a perfect step to time,
and then very light blue uniforms might
easily have been mistaken by a stranger for
the Confederate gray, and the whole pro
cession misinterpreted to mean a nnion pro
cession of the nnion and disunion elements
of the late civil war. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity. The aisles
bed seats put in them, an with all that
there was not room for the multitude that
sought entrance. Rev. Mr. Oanoe preached
a sermon appropriate to the occasion.
Jacob Beidler's bees took to swarming on
Sunday. Two swarms concluded to leave
about one and the same time. Samuel Roll
man came to the assistance of Mr. Bcidler,
and by the rts known td the bee cultivator
the swsrms were kept from getting off the
property, but the management could not
keep the two bees from getting into one
box. Two swarms in one box never do, and
this caie was no exception. The bees fell
to fighting each other, and the fiercest strug
gle has been going on ever since. The
dead snd wonnded are being dragged out
of the box as fast as they are put out of
fighting order. The probability is that both
swarms will be destroyed before the strug
gle comes to an end. Mr. Rollman waa
strung about dozen times. On Monday
another bee swarmed; thit one was success
fully hived.
Frank Sicber, a youth aged about 16
years, only son of Solomon Sieber, liting
in Fermanagh township, was wonnded in
the right band on Decoration day by a pis
tol shot. He had loaned his seven-shooter
to the hired man, with instructions to put
the pistol back in his trunk. The pistol
was returned in due course of time. The
lad had occasion to go to the trunk on Mon
day for something, and by some unaccount
able way the pistol was discharged while the
boy was handling some clothing. The bul
let entered the palm of the right hand, and
lodged near the back of the hand. Dr.
Crawford, assisted by Dr. Banks, rendered
the surgical operation fiat the case re
quired. The bullet was taken ont and the
hand is doing as well as can be expected.
A boy from the country was going along

" Lordee, niam, look there j did yon ever

An exchange aptly remarks i This is the
time of the year when tbe oily-tongued
sharper gets around among farmers, who
never take a paper, and succeeds in soiling
them a lot of trah, at exorbitant prices,
nndor high-sounding names. When the
Crop is ready for the reaper the smart
farmer, who knows enongh without reading
the papers, corses the lying agent. So the
world moves, and, probably, always will.
The Bi Centennial Association of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are making

most have a seductive influence on the
young bee to prevent it from indulging in

The Post filled the programme as had

This took place at Stenbenville, Ohio :
Mrs. Browyer ran into the house the other
day quite excited and red in the face, and
her husband asked her what was wrong.
"I'm a christian," she replied, "and I don't
like to qnarrel, but that Mrs. Jenkins is just
too much." "Why, what's the matter?"
She insulted me in her own house." "Did
she I And what did yod say back f" "Not
a word. I just told ber she was a mean,
tattling, good-for nothing, do-less, lazy,
sloucby, slovenly, careless, giddy, silly,
gabbling, gossiping thing, and all the neigh
bors kne it, and nobody liked ber, and I
wouldn't speak to her if she didn't Kloiig
to our church, and then I came away. I
I know if I hadn't controlled my temper I'd
bare said something to make her mad, and
I oughtn't to Ho that." Then she flopped
down into a chair, and her husband smiled
at her in a queer sort of way, and her face
got redder than ever, and only ber christian
patience saved her.

ally bursting ont into a staccato movement

Her hands are parboiled, bef elbows dim

on ber hips and bids yon M good-morning,"
in a cheery tone, don't linger a great while.
She means to give yon a dose of warm

As to bow necessary it is to be careful
while "weeding," the followfcg from the
Huntingdon Journal will serve aa a remind
er : On Monday afternoon, while engaged in
cutting the grass in his burial lot, on Ceme
tery Hill, Samuel A. Steel, Esq., made a
very narrow escape from being bitten by a
copperhead. After cutting down the grass
Mr. Steel was pulling some weeds in the
corner of the lot, and just aa he took hold
of one ot them, he saw a large copperhead,
with its head erect, ready to spring at bim.
tf. S teel was so badly . frightened at bis
narrow escape that before be could recover
himself the. reptile made its escape. He
searched for it for some time, but waa una
ble to discover its hiding place.

The following letter &iplaius itself : j
JIzxico, Fa., May 90, 18S1.
7o my many friendt and renders of the
Sentinel and Republican :
I left tlus place on (he 2nd iiift..
for the piuiose of purchasing goodd
in the eastern market. I did cot
feel well wheu I left home, and after
passing Ij.tuca.ster I felt quite sick.
When I arrived at West PKiladolpliia
depot I did not feel able to go to the
Delaware side of the city, so I en
gaged a room at the nearest hotel.
After registering my name end py:
ing for my lodging (I ate no supper)
I retired. When I arose nest morn
ing about 7:30, 1 felt better, Lavuig
enjoyed a refreshing sleep. I then
took a Market street car and went to
the St Elmo hotel, Noa. 317 and 310
Arch street, (where I have been stop
ing for years while in the city,) where
I received a small package of unpaid
bills that I had forgotten wheu 1 left
home, but left word with the ferry
man, Mr. Frankhouser, to notify my
son, O'. D. Fry, aud he had them sent
by mail to me, in care of St. Elmo
hotel, it being my intention to pay
them while there, and have them re
ceipted. I ate no breakfast, but told
the clerk to have a room ready for
me in about an hour. I had decided
to buy no goods till I felt better.
After registering I left the hotel about
8:30 A. M., to go to Market street
The sun was shining very warm for
so early an hour, and I felt very bad,
but was anxious to pay bills before
takin my bed, for such would cer
tainly be the case when I returned to
the hotel: In passing out of Arch
street, at the corner of Fourth or
Fifth, I was met by two men who
seemed to walk np against me, and I
have a faint recollection of them
having hold of mj rim's; one on each
side, seeming to support me. Here
I seemed to become unconscious of
passing eeits. At times I would be
aroused, and I think at that time I
was in tho hospital, but do not recol
lect distinctly of anything till I -ls
aroused from a 6tnpor, and, spoken
to; was told, I ws on the cars west of
Newport, Ferry county. I think I
was in a sleeping car. I was told I
was to get off at MiHiu station. I
did so, and was taken ia charge by
Mr. Hayes of the Patterson House,
who engaged a livsry rig and had me
brought home. It sesms friends had
found and taken care of me and sent
me to Mifflin after my foes had got
rid of me. My loss is between seven
hundred and eight hundred dollars
in money, a seven-shooter revolver
and Masonic pin. I am still confined
to my room, and am dictating this
letter, while my son copies it This
statement is correct, as far as. my
shattered memory serves me. Hcpe
it will be satisfactorily read and un
derstood by the public,' aud especial
ly the' curious ones.
Respectfully yours,
William Far.

Difficult English Language.
People that a-e nnar'iuainted fT'ifi the
English Itngnage fiud great ditliculty in
learning it. There arc s many wonls that
are 'unJed alike and mean d;lToreut things
that foreigners pa-ticularly, unless they are
English people, expnrience untold dii'Jculty
in their efforts tocouiprehend the language.
The M!jwinf artvle i iilv'ifrative of the
po'r-t :
A pretty deer is dear to uie,
, A hare with dowuy hair;
I loe a hart with all my heart,
But barely bear a bear.
Tis plain (bat no one takes a plane
To hare a piir of pairst .
A rake, !buh, ofteu tukes a rafre
To tear away tho Urea. . .
Ail r-iys rjise thyme, time razes all ;
AuJ, through tbe whole, bote wears.
A writ, in writing 'riht,' may right
It wright,' and still bJ wrong
For 'write' and 'n'..- are neither 'right'
And don't to "t:'c bWong.
Bier oftm Ving a bier to man,
Coughing a collii britij
And too much aid will nuke us sil,
As well as other tb!n(r'.
The rerson lies who says h Kc
When ho is but reclining ;
Aii'l. whi n consumptive lolks decline,
They all decline ueciiuing.
A quail don't quail b lure a storm
A boOh will bow bvl'or it (
We cannot reip t':o rain it rll
No earthly pawers reijjn o'er it.
The dyer dyes awhile, then dies ;
To dye he's always trying,
Until upon his dying bed
lie thinks no more of dyeing.
A son of Mars mars mtny a sun ;
All deyS must have their days,
And every knight should pray each night
To hiW who weighs bis ways.
Tis meet tbat man should mete out met
To feed niisl'r.rtune's son ;
Tbe fair should faro on love alone,
K!se one cannot be won.
A liS alas! is something; false;
Of faults a maid is made;
Her waist is hut a barren waste
Though stayed, she is not staid.
Tbe springs spring forth iu spiiug, and
shoots
Shoot forward one and all ;
Though sururwr kills the flowers, it leaves
The leaves to die in fall.
I woi'l a storp here commence,
Bvyou might fiud it stale i
So let s suppose that we have reached
Tbe tail end of our tale.
The Power ot Ibe Pre.
In no way is the power of the press more
surely shown than in the universal knowl
edge that has. in leas than a year, been dif
fused throughout fifty millions of people of
the wonderful curative properties of that
splendid remedy Kidney-Wort. Ami the
people from iba Atlantic to the P.iriric have
shown their intelligence snd their knowl
edge of what is in the papers, by already
making Kidney-Wort their household rem
edy for all diseases cf the kidneys, liver
and bowels. herald.
Tbeki lives in the land of Jaian
A very lugubrious man, .
Who sketches with toil,
In water and oi!)
Strange scenes tor ths Japanese fan.
He paints with a Chinaman's queue,
And uses vermillion and blue;
lie delights in large herds
. Of long-legged birds.
Which he makes with their bodies aokew,
He strives with tbe noblo intent
To pU-ture each current event ;
He ot'tea spends hours
. Over intricate flowers,
And receies just the eighth of a cent.
